Movie Review: The Devil Wears Prada

Movie Review: The Devil Wears Prada
By Courtney T.

When you see the commercials, you think stereotypical "romantic comedy". That is far from what The Devil Wears Prada can be thought of as....Acting: I must say that the acting, well, fit the movie like a glove... seriously, a Prada glove.
Meryl Streep puts on an "devilish" act as the feared boss of infamous styling label, Prada. Anne Hathaway really puts the quirk back in clueless nerds. Overall Score: 8/10
Plot: The plot, oy, well doesn't go so incredibly deep, but hey, what can you expect from a comedy? I mean it certainly is timed right, but it is not creatively a different storyline. In fact to be honest, its a bit cliche, but that doesn't take away from any of the creative quirks thrown all throughout the film. Overall Score: 7/10
Musical Score: One of my LEAST favorite parts of this movie was the musical score. It was choppy, fast and it felt like they just threw some cheap computer made stuff at the last minute. I have to say I really thought the music cheapened the entire feel of the whole New York vibe the movie has going on. Overall Score: 5/10
The Script: Writing from the staff was once again not really the most incredibly unique part of the movie. The main thing that made the script seem so good was the strong performance from all of the cast. Really it was cast perfectly. That's all I have to say about this.
OVERALL: 7/10
